The worst part is the silly over priced fridges you buy probably won't even last 10 years anymore. Sure they're more efficient, but if you have to replace it every 10-15 years, is it really worth it? I'd sooner have a slightly less efficient fridge that I know will last than one that can show me ads and look fancy.
Appliances these days are absolute junk. Nothing last more then like 7-10 years. My parents have a stainless steel kitchen aid fridge thats 20+ years old and works like a charm and a second shitty white fridge thats at least 15 years old by now. My aunt has gone through 2 samsung fridges in 10 years though
Ya I just went through all that bullshit last year. my old fridge (maybe 15yrs) crapped out and the repair guy told me flat out that they typically don't repair stuff like that anymore. Manufacturers make it intentionally difficult to obtain parts and even if you can get them, chances are they'll crap out before too long. I ended up getting a new Danby. I hope it proves me wrong but...
We had a KitchenAid fridge crap out and tried or damnedest to get it repaired. In the end, the repair tech said we could throw $1000 worth of parts at it and hope, or get a new fridge. This was our first matching set of appliances and my wife was not going back to slumming with an unmatched kitchen. Guess who had to spend 4K on a new fridge. We didn't even get a touchscreen. I don't expect this one to last either.
Oof, very pedestrian logic (her, not you). Time to stop watching HGTV shows. She wasn't aware that you could panel any fridge to match your cabinet doors?
I admire your steadfast... patience.
